Emagine being in an academic filed, and AI being trained off your research papers, so it has the same writing style as you. Give me my em dashes back.

Dude why do people think communism means you can't own anything. There's a difference between private and personal properties. You can own a house, and a car, hell even a whole farm. What you cannot do is hold capital.

How astute. You're really top of the bell curve.

I would say less "left leaning" and more anti-capitalist / anti fascist. More socialism less Nazis.

We should make owning residential, single family real estate for commercial purposes illegal. You own it, you live in it, don't live in it, don't own it. That would make gobbling up houses and renting them out unprofitable and force cities to open up multifamily development

You know what nuts? I live in one these states. Any time I want to view that kinda content I have to use a VPN. The fastest censorship free VPN? Cuba.

The fuck spez is perfect. Also I can't even view r/place because you have to either use their app or go to new reddit.

The ads aren't even working yet lol it's still in beta. I don't get why everyone is complaining.

Chemistry knowledge! Sweet tea is actually a supersaturated solution. That means there more sugar in the water than could normally be held in suspension. This is achieved by heating the water so you can dissolve more solute in and then chilling it. Remember theres at least 2 diabetes worth of sugar per glass.

A lot of people don't know how industrial scale power contracts work.

Your pissant $150 light bill isn't worth wiping their corporate asses with. If you are without power for a week they don't care. You can't cancel your subscription, you just have to choke on it.

But factories? They buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of power. They use an order of magnitude more electricity than your house. In fact, during a rolling black out they could keep every home in the city powered by shutting off just one factory. The problem is corporations have contracts that actually charge the power company by the hour if they lose power. my company charges over a million dollars an hour.

So buying some mine out of his contract for a little while is not unheard of. Tesla is on that grid so I promise it cost less to shut the miner off than to drop Tesla for a day.

There's this class of animals with a special organ just for doing that. Infact using that organ to feed their young is so special to them, they named themselves, their planet, and the whole galaxy after it. The galaxy twice. Called mammals you fucking boob.

It actually has. The U.S. produces enough food to feed the entire world three times over. It's a matter of distribution and no one is going to invest in that because it's not profitable. .

I'm in that boat. I'm a land lord. I built my forever home but after a medical issue I lost my job. Unfortunately my career choice, while lucrative, only has one or two positions per state. So I had to move. I'd like to return to the home I built but that won't be for another 10 years minimum when I retire. I don't want to sell my home, so I rented it out. I'm currently renting an apartment myself.

Linus gaming got simple when steam dropped steamOS as a stand alone operating system. I went from windows 7 to steamOS. First was the steam piston, now I have a steam machine (Alienware / dell) and a steam deck. It's as easy as console gaming but with all the flexibility of PC gaming.

And before I get shit for prebuilts, sometimes you just want to play, and shit just works. Also am poor.

Like this?

It called hick-hop

People commit theft because the barriers / consequences of theft to obtain an item or less than the barriers/consequences of legitimate purchase. It's always a supply and availability issue. Humans aren't intrinsically evil. Also there aren't a bunch of programs to provide free baby supplies. Even WIC requires application but some people might not have the time or ability to go to. And it's not free with WIC, you still have to pay.

Also if you want to talk philosophy, children are too young to consent and be beholden to the social contract. They're participation is mandatory because they are innocent and dependent. It's our obligation to provide for them collectively.

Growing up is learning your favorite dinosaur isn't actually a dinosaur. (mine was pterodactyl)

Where do you think the value for your return on investment comes from? It's extracted from the labor of workers.

Every square inch of the earth is owned. I cannot fuck off into the woods, build a cabin, grow vegetables, hunt food, etc. I'm forced to be a part of society. Laws say I cannot provide for myself by natural means, there for society is required to provide for me within its system.
